Acute postoperative complications in surgical intensive care units
HLOBILKOVÁ, Magda
The master's thesis addresses the issue of acute postoperative complications in the conditions of surgical intensive care units from the perspective of a nurse. The thesis consists of theoretical and empirical sections. The theoretical section focuses on the issues of surgery, intensive care units, and acute postoperative complications. The empirical section includes the research's objectives, methodology, and results. Three objectives were set to elaborate on the master's thesis. First objective: To determine the relationship between the length of practice, the highest level of education attained, and nurses'orientation on the issue of acute postoperative complications. Second objective: To determine nurses' interest in education regarding acute postoperative complications. Third objective : To map the most common acute postoperative complications in surgical intensive care units. The research part of the master's thesis is addressed through a combined research approach involving nurses from surgical intensive care units with different lengths of practice and the highest levels of education attained. The research was conducted in four South Moravian and Zlín hospitals. The quantitative part of the research was carried out through non-standardized questionnaire surveys. The research sample consisted of 138 respondents. The qualitative part was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 10 nurses. Several conclusions can be drawn from the research that was conducted. A statistically significant relationship was observed between nurses' orientation on the issue of acute postoperative complications, length of practice, and the highest level of education attained. With increasing length of practice, nurses' orientation also increases, as does the level of highest education attained. Participating nurses show interest in education on the issue, which the employer does not sufficiently compensate. The most common acute postoperative complications in surgical intensive care units, from the nurses' perspective, are pain and acute bleeding. The output of the diploma thesis is a proposal for the content of a seminar to increase nurses'orientation in specific acute postoperative complications.

Nursing documentation of anesthetist nurses
Prošková, Lenka ; Di Cara, Veronika (advisor) ; Chvojková, Kateřina (referee)
Nursing documentation of anesthetic nurses is not an common type of documentation in our country. In some workplaces, the medical record of anesthesia is supplemented with data needed to identify the nursing care provided. Therefore, nurses do not have their own nursing documentation at these workplaces, but they record the data in the documentation with the doctor, or continue the records on the decree sheet. Each medical facility in our country has its own system of health documentation, which makes a logical, continuous unit. The aim of my research was to find satisfaction of the nurses in the examined medical facility with the established system of medical documentation, more precisely anesthetic nursing documentation, which is related (not only) to surgical procedures. Describe how many documents are created in connection with the operation and which of them affect nursing care records. Whether they are clear, readily available, and capture the necessary data for all nurses involved in patient care in the operational fields. The choice for research was a quantitative survey using a questionnaire prepared in writing. Respondents were surgical nurses, ARO, ICU, adult room and anesthetist nurses. Part of the research was the study of existing papers, which fill anesthetist nurses and documents...
